To celebrate his life, his family and friends are coming together at the ball park area at Cleawox Lake at Honeyman State Park on Saturday, Aug. 17, at 1 p.m. — food, famly and friends outdoors in a ballfield, an appropriate tribute to honor a man who devoted his life to others.

His life achievements are too numerous to mention, so come and share a story.

Thanks to the Chasco and Baker family, Western Lane Ambulance paramedics, officer Kevin Larson and Alan Burns for their compassion and professionalism. Thanks, also, to the PeaceHealth co-workers for support at this time.

Private cremational rites were held at Burns’s Riverside Chapel Florence Funeral Home, which is in charge of all arrangements.
